From that point until the summer of 1974, West (owner/operator/original licensee) and his wife ran the station with a potpourri of big band nostalgia, middle of the road, polka and adult standards.
At the time the station was sold to new owners, the control room studio was still equipped with the original Gates transmitter, audio console, two 15 inch transcription turntables and a reel-to reel tape recorder/playback deck.
There were no audio cartridge playback machines used as most commercials were done either live by West and his wife or played directly on reel-to-reel.The adjacent on-air studio included a piano and microphone (but no audio production facilities since nearly all local programming was done live)in addition to a home-built EBS "air alert" receiver system located near the station's office.
Since PG-14's directional signal also covers into neighboring counties in West Central Ohio, the station in addition aired farm programming from Ohio-based Agri Broadcasting Network and its founder/director, the late Ed Johnson.
WPGW's sister station is WZBD (the former WQTZ) founded in August 1993 located to the north in Berne operating under the licensee name Adams County Radio Inc.
